Verdict

TILT AT WINDMILLS got the job done at the ninth time of asking at Bath last week and, with similar conditions expected here, she looks capable of defying a penalty. Oh So Audacious has won two of her last three starts, one of which was registered over this C&D in July and she is high on the shortlist, for all that she's untried on ground this slow. Magical Dragon, who narrowly prevailed at Lingfield, is also worthy of consideration.

  1. TILT AT WINDMILLS (IRE)
  2. OH SO AUDACIOUS
  3. MAGICAL DRAGON (IRE)
